Christina Kulp

Christina Kulp is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with more than two decades of experience. She helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, career questions, relationship and intimacy concerns, and life transitions. She also supports those facing parenting challenges, sleep problems, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and issues related to LGBT identity and gender dysphoria.

Christina trained at Marywood University for her master's in social work and completed undergraduate studies at Cedar Crest College in psychology and sociology. She has worked across geriatric, nonprofit, and healthcare settings and holds post-graduate certificates in gerontology and palliative and end of life care. She is currently pursuing a doctorate in social work through a combined program at Kutztown and Millersville Universities.

In sessions she focuses on building trust and respect first. She draws from a strengths-based outlook so clients can make practical choices that fit their lives. Christina uses a mix of approaches tailored to each person’s situation instead of a single method.

Her therapeutic toolbox includes cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, narrative work, and psychodynamic ideas, all applied with attention to trauma-related issues. She aims to help clients understand patterns, learn coping strategies, and move toward clearer goals.

Christina describes therapy as a collaborative process. She invites people to explore what matters to them, set realistic steps, and try approaches that can reduce distress and improve daily functioning. She offers care with empathy, patience, and realistic problem-solving.

How Christina’s approaches translate to online work

Christina commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness in her practice. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying practical behavior changes to reduce anxiety or depression. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus.

She also draws on motivational interviewing to help people clarify goals and find internal motivation for change. That approach is conversational and goal-focused, which can be useful for career decisions, coping with care responsibilities, or building new habits.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Christina will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and personal style rather than prescribing a single path. This helps shape sessions so they feel relevant and manageable.

Confirm the therapist's current session options before booking, since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow for different styles of check-ins such as focused skill practice or longer reflective conversations. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing to remote formats while helping people work toward clearer goals and daily improvements.
